Description
Myrtle House is a detached house that features a later 18th-century refronting of an earlier structure. It has coursed, dressed stone walls and a thatch roof, which is finished with stone gable copings and level kneelers. There are brick stacks at each gable end. The house is two storeys tall and has three windows, which are three-light wooden casements with glazing bars and wooden cills. The front door is centrally located and has fielded panels with two top lights, topped by a wooden canopy supported on brackets. The house has been extended at the right-hand end. The rear wing is constructed of rubble stone and also has a thatch roof, featuring two storeys and three windows with two-light wooden casements. There is an attached coursed stone wall with stone coping, along with two square gate piers with low pyramidal caps at the center, and square piers at the left and right-hand corners.
